    When I grow up… Childhood innocence after a day of adult penance. After 15 men have been crucified, the rituals come to an end and the crowd disperses. Children climb onto the mound and the crosses, playing. Views[1463] My offering to God. An eerie peace in the midst of pain. They offer themselves to God in a show of devotion, as they emulate the crucifixion of Christ, praying for themselves and their family. Views[575] Please accept my sacrifice. A man kneels in prayer before the cross while whipping himself. This marks the end of their offering for some, while others continue on to be crucified. Views[740] Only He knows who I am. Anonymity is preserved throughout the silent suffering, with only the low murmurs of their prayer heard. Views[413] Atonement - Good Friday, Cutud, Philippines. A man lies on scorching sand while being flayed by a lash of bamboo sticks. Every year, devotees take part in a voluntary ritual marking the death of Christ to atone for their sins.
